! ! My first cam! I'm very happy.MadBill wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 8:44 pm Your reported numbers show IVO to be 7° late vs. spec and IVC 5° early, so only a 2° difference. Thus 'by the numbers', the cam is now only 1° retarded, so I'd say congratulations, you are done*! . (*Can be debated, but 1° is close enough for me.)
It would only be a check of the cam machining, but for peace of mind you could back off the checking lift point (say 0.008"/0.20 mm for a start), to bring the measured duration closer to spec., thus allowing direct confirmation. Ditto for the ICL.
With 0.20 checking I got:
8° BTDC IVO
51° ABDC IVC
Having trouble returning to 0(0.20mm). +/- 0.5. Checked x3 and got these numbers twice
